Overview
Executive overview
This antenna reference guide explains issues and concerns about antennas used with a Cisco Aironet and
Catalyst wireless LAN system or wireless bridge system. It details deployment and design, limitations and
capabilities, and basic theories of antennas. This document also contains information about the Cisco antennas
and accessories, as well as installation scenarios, regulatory information, and technical specifications and
diagrams of the available antennas.
Overview of antennas
Each Cisco Aironet radio product is designed to perform in a variety of environments. Implementing the antenna
system can greatly improve coverage and performance.
To optimize the overall performance of a Cisco wireless LAN, it is important to understand how to maximize
radio coverage with the appropriate antenna selection and placement. An antenna system comprises numerous
components, including the antenna, mounting hardware, connectors, antenna cabling, and in some cases a
lightning arrestor. For a consultation, please contact a Cisco Aironet partner at:
https://tools.cisco.com/WWChannels/LOCATR/jsp/partner_locator.jsp.
Cisco partners can provide onsite engineering assistance for complex requirements.
Antenna properties and ratings
An antenna gives the wireless system three fundamental properties: gain, direction, and polarization. Gain is a
measure of increase in power. Direction is the shape of the transmission pattern. A good analogy for an
antenna is the reflector in a flashlight. The reflector concentrates and intensifies the light beam in a particular
direction similar to what a parabolic dish antenna would do to an RF source in a radio system.
Antenna gain is measured in decibels, which is a ratio between two values. The gain of a specific antenna is
compared to the gain of an isotropic antenna. An isotropic antenna is a theoretical antenna with a uniform
three-dimensional radiation pattern (similar to a light bulb with no reflector). The decibels over an isotropic
radiator (dBi) value is used to compare the power level of a given antenna to the theoretical isotropic antenna.
The U.S. regulatory agency (the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC) uses dBi in its calculations. An
isotropic antenna is said to have a power rating of 0 dB, meaning that it has zero gain/loss when compared to
itself.
Unlike isotropic antennas, dipole antennas are real antennas. Dipole antennas have a different radiation pattern
compared to isotropic antennas. The dipole radiation pattern is 360 degrees in the horizontal plane and 75
degrees in the vertical plane (assuming the dipole antenna is standing vertically) and resembles a doughnut in
shape. Because the beam is “slightly” concentrated, dipole antennas have a gain over isotropic antennas of
2.14 dB in the horizontal plane. Dipole antennas are said to have a gain of 2.14 dBi (in comparison to an
isotropic antenna).
Some antennas are rated in comparison to dipole antennas. This is denoted by the suffix dBd, short for decibels
over a dipole antenna. Hence, dipole antennas have a gain of 0 dBd (= 2.14 dBi).
Note that the majority of documentation refers to dipole antennas as having a gain of 2.2 dBi. The actual figure
is 2.14 dBi, but it is often rounded up.

Types of antennas
Cisco offers several different styles of antennas for use with access points and bridges in both 2.4-GHz and 5GHz products. Every antenna offered for sale has been FCC-approved. Each type of antenna has different
coverage capabilities. As the gain of an antenna increases, there is some tradeoff in its coverage area. Usually
high-gain antennas offer longer coverage distances, but only in a certain direction. The radiation patterns
described below show the coverage areas of the styles of antennas that Cisco offers: dipole, omnidirectional,
and patch antennas.
Omnidirectional antennas
An omnidirectional antenna (Figure 1) is designed to provide a 360-degree radiation pattern. This type of
antenna is used when coverage in all directions from the antenna is required. The standard 2.14-dBi “rubber
duck” is one style of omnidirectional antenna.
Figure 1.
Omnidirectional antenna
Directional antennas
Directional antennas come in many different styles and shapes. An antenna does not offer any added power to
the signal; it simply redirects the energy it receives from the transmitter. By redirecting this energy, it has the
effect of providing more energy in one direction and less energy in all other directions. As the gain of a
directional antenna increases, the angle of radiation usually decreases, providing a greater coverage distance
but with a reduced coverage angle. Directional antennas include patch antennas (Figure 2) and parabolic
dishes. Parabolic dishes have a very narrow RF energy path, and the installer must be accurate in aiming these
types of antennas at each other.

Cabling
Cabling introduces losses into the system, negating some of the gain an antenna introduces and reducing the
range of the RF coverage.
Interconnect cable
Attached to all antennas (except the standard dipoles), this cable provides a 50-ohm impedance to the radio
and antenna, with a flexible connection between the two items. It has a high loss factor and should not be used
except for very short connections (usually less than 10 feet). Typical length on all antennas is 36 inches.
Low-loss and ultra-low-loss cable
Cisco offers two styles of cables for use with the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz product lines. These cables provide a
much lower loss factor than standard interconnect cables, and they can be used when the antenna must be
placed at any distance from the radio device. While these are low-loss cables, they should still be kept to a
minimum length.
Two types of cables are available for mounting the antenna away from the radio unit. The 100- and 150-foot
cables are LMR600-type cables, while the 20- and 50-foot cables are LMR400-type cables. All four lengths
are supplied with one reverse polarity-TNC (RP-TNC) plug and one RP-TNC jack connector attached. This
allows for connection to the radio unit and to the interconnect cable supplied on the antenna.
Connectors
According to the U.S. Federal Code of Regulations, products used in the 2.4- and 5-GHz ISM bands
manufactured after June 1994 must either use connectors that are unique and nonstandard (meaning not
readily available on the market) or be designed to be professionally installed (“professional” here indicates a
person trained in RF installation and regulations). Since many of the 2.4-GHz products are installed by non-RFtrained personnel, these products must comply with the unique connector rule. The Cisco outdoor access and
bridge products are designed for installation by an RF professional, and therefore may use a standard N-style
connector. Cisco Aironet indoor products use RP-TNC connectors. While these are similar to the normal TNC
connectors, they cannot be mated to the standard connectors.
Cisco has recently introduced a new multi-RF connector known as DART. DART connectors can support four or
eight RF signals along with several electrical pins. Cisco developed the DART connector to simplify installations
and to create a single insertion cable to go along with a new line of self-identifying antennas (SIA) containing
circuitry to automate provisioning and detection.
To ensure compatibility with Cisco products, use antennas and cabling from Cisco.
Note: Self-Identifying Antennas (SIA) are supported starting from IOS XE 17.5.1 and later software for
C9800 WLCs.
Mounting hardware
Each antenna requires some type of mounting. The standard dipole antenna simply connects to the RP-TNC
connector on the unit. Mast-mount antennas are designed to mount to a variety of mast diameters, and each
comes with mounting hardware for attachment. Patch antennas are designed to mount flat against a wall or
ceiling, and ceiling-mount antennas are equipped with a drop-ceiling cross-member attachment.
For most indoor applications, a. 75- or 1-inch electrical conduit provides a suitable mounting. For outdoor
applications, use a heavy galvanized or aluminum wall mast that will withstand the wind-loading rating of the
selected antenna.

Lightning arrestors
When using outdoor antenna installations, it is always possible that an antenna will suffer damage from charges
developing on the antenna and cable, or surges induced from nearby lightning strikes. The Cisco Aironet
lightning arrestor is designed to protect 2.4-GHz to 5-GHz radio equipment from static electricity and lightninginduced surges that travel on coaxial transmission lines. Both systems need to be properly grounded as
identified in the hardware installation manuals of the products. These protection mechanisms will not prevent
damage in the event of a direct lightning hit.
Theory of operation
The Cisco Aironet Lightning Arrestor (Figure 3) prevents energy surges from reaching the RF equipment by
shunting them to the ground. Surges are limited to less than 50 volts, in about 0.0000001 second (100
nanoseconds). A typical lightning surge is about 0.000002 second (2 microseconds).
Figure 3.
Cisco Aironet Lightning Arrestor
The accepted IEEE transient (surge) suppression is 0.000008 second (8 microseconds). The Cisco Aironet
Lightning Arrestor is a 50-ohm transmission line with a gas discharge tube positioned between the center
conductor and ground. This gas discharge tube changes from an open circuit to a short circuit almost
instantaneously in the presence of voltage and energy surges, providing a path to ground for the energy surge.
Installation
This arrestor is designed to be installed between your antenna cable and the Aironet access point. Installation
should be indoors or inside a protected area. A good ground must be attached to the arrestor. This can be
accomplished by attaching a ground lug to the arrestor and using a heavy wire (number 6 solid copper) to
connect the lug to a good earth ground.
